I am grateful to see that more people are tuning in for the updates, and I feel like now is the good time to tell how my Pump journey is going. Within the past couple of months, the UK had been in and out of lockdowns. Sadly, that meant that the arcade was closed. Every time I promised myself to do something instead of Pump, but I never did. With every lockdown lift, there was a journey of getting out of stamina lacking swamp. Luckily, I allowed myself some room to be lazy in the indoor pandemic and stayed focused on mental surviving instead (and got kinda good at Apex Legends!). Now I am fully vaccinated and covid-related arcade anxiety is no more. Perhaps I will make a video on how to get out of the slump. For now, I aim to play three times a week. As I started a new job that, too, would be a challenge. Despite all the odds, manmade and not, I am getting closer to my peak shape. Right now I am doing one hard session and one recovery session, each 10 credits (3 songs) or below. Developing muscle memory for the complex double patterns is my top priority at the moment. As for the channel, I recently got lucky to test out the four-panel minipad, and will publish the video with the review in mid-August. I also hope to dust off footage from my trips to the US and Russia pre-pandemic. If I don’t burn out by 2022, we will have another WPT. Until then, thank you for being here, and I hope you all have a great day.
